Clean energy technology priorities:
The usage of natural gas, which is environment-friendly, will be promoted aggressively in the transport and manufacturing sectors to include utilization of gas by bus fleets and industries in place of polluting fuels.---[E]lectric-based urban public transport systems, which are emission-free, will be further expanded by the private sector with encouragement from the Government.---In order to support the implementation of the technology-based industrial strategies, several advanced technologies are being promoted: environment and energy-related - green materials agro-based waste - renewable energy - portable energy - pollution minimization, remediations and waste management.
Low-emission and cleaner coal technology:
Measures will be taken to ensure that the production and utilization of coal will meet environmental standards.
Advanced fuel extraction technology:
Efforts will be made to increase the pool of expertise and improve know-how, especially in underground mining.
Natural gas transportation technology:
The usage of natural gas, which is environment-friendly, will be promoted aggressively in the transport and manufacturing sectors to include utilization of gas by bus fleets and industries in place of polluting fuels.
R&D renewable energy:
Greater emphasis will be given to research and development (R&D) activities aimed at the efficient harnessing and utilization of energy resources.
